well after 100,000 plus miles on the bpt motor it was time to blow. with me beating on it everyday and the previous owner cris (gtxfamilia) also beating on it i guess the motor couldn't take it any more i think that and the fact that i dont have a intercooler just straight from turbo to intake manifold with blow off valve (it had but were donated to steve inorder to make copy for all of you to benifit from a real front mount intercooler with only 4 couplings and not 20 like most people have) you guys owe me a motor now lol j/k. there no compression in piston #4. so now its time to rebuild the bpt motor or maybe a miata bottom end with bp head then go with t3/t4 and more boost

The 99-00 Miata head (BP-4W) flows better because it has steeper intake ports, but you need to modify the intake manifold flange for it to work. The exhaust ports are identical.

what is the extent of modifying the manifold flange? Is ir something 30 mins and a dremel can do?I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
